[QUOTE="Petras, post: 110885, member: 216"] As others have stated it really does just depend on what you are intending to use the gun for. I bought my gun the day after sandy hook happened, mainly because I didn't have one and I figured no time better than the present to buy one. It sat in my gun safe for about a year before I actually did anything with it. It's a DPMS with a 16" barrel that cost me $600 at scheels. Yes it was about the most basic gun one could buy, but it was the last one they had in the store and there were other people waiting for their background checks to clear so they could buy it.... I walked in with my conceal carry license and then walked out with the gun. I ended up actually changing a lot of stuff on it. I swapped out the factory 16" barrel for a 20" Yankee Hill 1:7 twist barrel. I swapped the nasty trigger that came in it for a CMC 3# trigger assembly. I then swapped out all the cheap ass plastic furniture for a Magpul MOE rifle stock, and a Yankee Hill Rifle length forend. All total I'm into my gun for about $1200 not including my scope. The best group I've achieved with it at 100 yards off a bench is .47" shooting 77grain SMK's. It will also shoot 55 grain Hornady V-max bullets but not quite as accurate. One option to consider is go to the next gun show in Minot and hit up the Nodak Arms booth. Last summer one of my buddies picked up an AR that they built. If i remember right he ended up paying around $500 and that included a red dot site, a couple clips, and I think 50 rounds of their ammo. He likes the hell out of it. My next AR will be either a home built AR or I will go in and have Nodak build one. I've got parts left from modding my current AR that I will use towards my next one. [/QUOTE]
